Both guys seem to take their punches well. May well be down to stamina rather than a thunderous punch.
Chagaev getting very confident and landing combos now. Skelton trying but technically, as expected, he's not at the same level. Chagaev 59-55 Skelton on my card. Skelton blood from the nose, jaw still a problem...?
Yes, true, but the pace is pretty low and they are both no big punchers so that makes it a bit boring imo
most refs would be breaking these clinches, remember cortez in the hatton fight, he would be in constatantly in this fight.
round 6/ nice short r8ight skelton flush skelton roughs chagaev up on the ropes skelton using strenght to bully chagzeb on the ropes skelton letting go with klittle shoits for 1 min as he bullies chagaev crowd boos chagaev styill content to be backed up nice left chagaev as fight returns to ring center. nice clubbing left chagaev chagaev planting his feet and letting rip skelton walks through thenm and lands big right and bodty shot chagaev not happy chagaev again being bullied not being given room nice chagaev counter. chagaev had a good clean 20 seconds and skelton did liltte bits for 2.40 distcating. hard round to score 59/57
Skelton's going to have to just throw caution to the wind, this is going nowhere for him but a loss at the moment.
chagaev is looking good but not great Skeleton is tired and trying to use his size to bully Ruslan but is very ineffecitve at it. 5th and 6th rounds go to Ruslan for sure.
haha so true. as soon as the round starts i bet someone is scewing up the signal intentionally. round1: 10-9 skelton - good countering from skelton round2: 10-9 ruslan - lands a few good lefts round3: 10-9 skelton - taking fight to ruslan and more active round4: 10-9 ruslan - skelton more active ruslan landing cleaner round5: 10-9 ruslan - ruslan landing cleaners now round6: 10-9 ruslan - ruslan throwing effective combos now 58-56 the white tyson atsch
chagaev 58-56 He won round 6 by landing some clean shots in the last 90 seconds of the round, though skelton was backing up chagaev most of the round
